🌱 NECEC, MAINE RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION, and CLIMATEWORK MAINE Pen Op-Ed on Navigating Maine's Climate Transition: Challenges and Opportunities 🌱 The shift towards a greener future in Maine is proving to be challenging. NECEC's Director of Ecosystem and Strategic Engagement, Aaron Jeffrey Frederick, MAINE RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION Executive Director Eliza Donoghue, Esq., and ClimateWork Maine Executive Director Jeff Marks co-authored an insightful op-ed in The Portland Press Herald that delves into Mainers' cultural and practical hurdles as we embrace climate-friendly technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. The article emphasizes that while the intention behind these transitions is noble, the execution requires a nuanced understanding of local sentiments and infrastructure needs. At the same time, another piece from the same newspaper highlights a critical issue: the rising demand for electricity due to the increased adoption of EVs and heat pumps. This surge is straining our current electrical grid, underscoring the urgent need for grid expansion and modernization to support our renewable energy goals. Together, these articles paint a comprehensive picture of Maine’s climate journey. They remind us that while innovation is key, it must be paired with thoughtful planning and community engagement to ensure a smooth and inclusive transition. NECEC is proud to be doing this work alongside our partners at ClimateWork Maine, and we were particularly excited to sponsor their recent 2nd Annual Summit on Climate Change and Maine's Economy. Let's continue to work together to overcome these challenges and build a sustainable future for all Mainers.

Opinion: What about us, as Mainers, makes the climate transition tough to swallow?
